here she is with her daddy, my son lukas, after her first 'swim' in our pool. reluctant at first, she quickly grew to enjoy it ...

Sweeeeetness abounds in this lovely image. She's SO adorable and when she is all grown up in the very distant future (and may the years crawl, giving her a beautiful full childhood) there are going to be some cherished photos there!

She definitely looks like she wants to get back into the pool! She is growing up so fast Franz! Hard to believe that Cael will be 2 1/2 next week! Isn't being a grandfather great!!! ;-)

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

A beautiful portrait capture of father and daughter! I love how they are looking off to the side.....as if to catch them naturally without knowing you're there. It's hard to believe it has been 9 months already. Seems more like weeks.

@Steven: isn't that true? there's some truth in the saying that "in our children we see the passing of time" ... thank you for this lovely comment, steven ;-))

Judy aka L@dybug from Brooksville, FL, United States

Happy nine-month birthday, Little Mouse ... and I'm not sure who is happier, you or your Daddy!
You really take me back, Franz; it's been 25 years since our first g-dtr was 9 months old.
